PSYCHOLOGIST'S CHILDREN'S OPERETTA
TO PREMIER IN NEW YORK City
Sierra Vista, Arizona—October 12, 2002--"The Fisherman's Clever Daughter, a unique, entertaining, educational, children's operetta, with lyrics written by Dr. Sam Caron, opens November 10th at the Jan Hus Theater in New York City.
It is being produced by the Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theater, under the direction of VÃt Horejš, as a part of the Magic of Czech Puppetry Festival. During November and December, the show will also tour schools, parks, and libraries in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens and be performed at the Boehmian Hall in Astoria, Queens.
Caron based his lyrics on Horejš' rendition of this classic Czech folktale. The music was composed by Benjamin, Caron's oldest son. The two previously collaberated on the original didactic songs in Dr. Caron's 10 ADHD lessons for children and families. The ADHD lessons combine ventriloquism, music, animation, magic, and humor to make learning about ADHD fun.
Besides being a child psychologist, Dr. Caron is also a ventriloquist who has conducted workshops and performed at the International Ventriloquist Festival in Las Vegas and at the Japanese Ventriloquist Festival in Tokyo. He will return to Tokyo this November 24th to participate again and perform a Jewish theme puppet skit about peace in the family.
Caron stated, “ When I originally combined my ventriloquism and psychotherapy skills, I did it to improve my counseling and never imagined that it would result in me being on television, winning awards and traveling all the way to Tokyo."
Regarding the operetta Dr. Caron said, "I try to write lyrics which don't insult children's intelligence. The play teaches about gender equality and the importance of sharing. A variety of musical styles makes the production even more enjoyable.
As a ventriloquist, I am thrilled that the first production of my songs will be by fellow puppeteers using Czech marionettes. I have seen other shows produced by VÃt and am thrilled that he has decided to produce my operetta."
